       elf_fill - Set fill byte used when constructing or editing ELF object files.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libelf.h>

       void elf_fill(int fill);

DESCRIPTION

       The  elf_fill  function  sets  the  fill byte used by libelf to pad new gaps between ELF sections or data
       elements when an ELF object file is resized or realigned using elf_update.  The default fill byte used by
       libelf is zero.

PARAMETERS

       fill   The value used to fill gaps in future writes to ELF objects.  This value should be between  0  and
              255 (inclusive).  Only the least significant 8 bits are used.

RETURN VALUE
